Chapter Forty-Five
() Incredible, unbelievable, and even more unimaginable. For the Hong father and son, everything Zhengyao said just now was so shocking.
Perhaps it was because they hit the nail on the head, or perhaps it was because Zhengyao's bold speculation was completely in line with their actual situation, so they both performed so well.
I believe that everyone in Guangzhou City does not know who Wang Zhi is. Over the years, pirates have been constantly nuisance of the Ming Dynasty, and the largest of them is led by Wang Zhi. It can be said that because Wang
With the existence of the Ming Dynasty, the sea of Daming has basically not been peaceful, and the fishermen around have been humiliated by these pirates.
Of course, what most people call "Japanese pirates" are actually not the Japanese pirates who come from Japan. Strictly speaking, these people are just pirates gathered together in the Ming Dynasty. These people are generally oppressed by the government.
The persecution of life, and some criminals who escaped from the end of exile after committing a crime.
The Wang Zhi gang, which was jointly fought by Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others and was eventually arrested, was the largest of them. If Wang Zhi is the boss of Hong Dizhen, then...
"How did you... know? Tell me quickly, it is impossible for outsiders to know such a confidential matter!"
Hong Dizhen looked at Zhengyao with a very serious expression and questioned, as if this matter was more important to him than killing Zhengyao.
Hong Dizhen is right. The Japanese pirates are definitely a major matter. It is really unbelievable that Zhengyao, an outsider, could actually say Wang Zhilai in one word.
Even Hong Dizhen had an assumption: Could it be that Zhengyao was actually one of them? It should be noted that among the civil and military officials of the dynasty, there were actually many people among them!
"Looking at the expressions of Mr. Hong and Mr. Hong, it seems that what I said is true. It is because Ye Ying knew that your true identity was the "Japanese pirates" and that the death of Doctor Ye.
First, you think he had betrayed you for the death of his son. The second reason is the most important! I think Dr. Ye went out for a few days in the name of collecting herbs for a few days, actually his real purpose should be to serve your brother.
Heal the wounds and treat the disease. So every time I come back, I only have very few herbs with me. However, Dr. Ye knew too many things about you, and you were worried that he would leak the news, so he even killed him. What? I can
Are you wrong?”
Zhengyao seemed to have seen the whole process with his own eyes and participated in it personally, saying it was serious, but the Hong father and son were stunned.
"call"
Hong Dizhen couldn't help but breathe a long sigh. The more he heard Zhengyao continue to say this, the more he became convinced about what he was thinking.
After a deep breath, Hong Dizhen finally calmed down and said, "That's right! What you said is true. Wang Zhi is my sworn brother. Back then, a large group of people were galloping on the sea. What a glorious person.
!Because people in the court have been in contact with us, the palace master gave us some information from time to time, which made us feel at peace for many years! But I didn’t expect that in the 37th year of Jiajing, Brother Wang believed that Jiajing would open the ban on the sea order and believed that the court was
We will recruit our group of people. So we met with Hu Zongxian, the Minister of War, alone! Who knew that Hu Zongxian was intentionally surrendering. As a result, Brother Wang was arrested, and the brothers in the gang were also killed by the army of Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others.
It was a mess. I thought we would die, but fortunately there was a palace master, so we were able to escape and stayed in Guangzhou City all the time."
At this moment, Hong Dizhen felt that there was nothing worth hiding. Now she had only a bet, and Zhengyao was what he thought of as his own person!
The reason why he was so sure was that Zhengyao could tell everything so detailed and accurate, and even the palace master had moved out.
In this world, those who can know the identity of the palace master are certainly no one except their own.
However, isn’t Zhengyao also gambled?
In fact, from the beginning, what Zhengyao said was all his own speculation because he had no substantial evidence at all. After all, if there were any, he would have ordered Chu Side to take someone.
Now that we are here alone, we want to get confirmation from them, but the result is better than expected. Unexpectedly, Hong Dizhen and his son would say everything out, which was really a bit surprised.
After all, Zhengyao walked by his feelings. As for Wang Zhi, it was because Zhengyao had read a little history and knew that there was once a famous Japanese pirate named Hong Dizhen. Perhaps people have similarities and names, but
This might as well take a gamble.
The reason why Zhengyao said "Palace Master" was because since Zhengyao came to Beijing and had close contact with Jiajing, many times he encountered troubles was this mysterious "Palace Master".
For Zhengyao, this mysterious "Palace Master" is definitely of great power. I believe he is also omnipresent. He had previously concluded that this person might be a minister in the court, so this "Palace Master" is likely to be
Get involved in Japanese pirates.
So, after several things were combined, Zhengyao couldn't help but involve the "Palace Master".
Such twists and turns are so complicated that only Zhengyao has this nervous system. If the Hong father and son know what Zhengyao thinks, it would be difficult to believe that they will not collapse.
"I see!"
Zhengyao finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking like he understood.
"The prince consort knows so many things, and can tell the palace master. I think he is his own person! I dare to ask why the prince consort is here today? If he is his own person, then you should understand what the palace master means.
”
Obviously, Hong Dizhen has regarded Zhengyao as her own person, and her attitude has improved a lot when speaking.
However, until now, the knife in Hong Ding's hand has not been removed from Zhengyao's neck, and perhaps he is still a little cautious in his heart.
"Haha, actually, I was also ordered by the palace lord to come here this time. Because a few years ago, an explosion occurred in the arsenal in Shaanxi and a large number of weapons were seized by the court, so for a while, funds began to be scarce, and this time, I came.
This is to collect funds for the palace lord to use it for major events!”
Zhengyao said whatever he thought of. What he was sure of was that everything that happened in Hua County, Shaanxi Province and Lantian County was related to the palace master, so he said it all, and in order to prove himself, the Hong father and son
I believe that I am one of them more. Secondly, I can also test it and see if my guess is correct!
Zhengyao's brain is famously spinning fast, which also gives him room to maneuver even if something goes wrong.
"So that's how it is! I've really offended it just now. I hope the prince-in-law should not be surprised. Hong Ding, why don't you take the knife away quickly?"
After hearing what Zhengyao said, Hong Dizhen seemed to believe it and her attitude became more friendly than before.
"Yes, dad!"
Hong Ding nodded and then prepared to take away the knife that was placed on Zhengyao's neck.
Hearing Hong Dizhen's words and seeing Hong Ding's move, Zhengyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had finally passed the level.
"Slow down!" However, just as Hong Ding moved the knife away from Zhengyao's neck one inch, Hong Dizhen suddenly waved her hand and shouted: "Hmph! I almost got confused by you! The Palace Master just half a month ago
I collected a bill from here, how could I send someone again? What's more, you had been ill for seven years before, how could you get the order from the Palace Master?!"
Zhengyao, who originally thought that he was God, suddenly felt tight in his heart at this moment and his breathing began to become a little rapid.
I really didn't expect that this Hong Dizhen would be so wise and react so quickly. It seems that she really met an opponent this time!
